Egyptians gather body parts at the scene of a train crash that killed at least 47 people, most of them children near Assiut in southern Egypt, Saturday, Nov. 17, 2012. As one man picked up a body part he screamed: "Only God can help!" The bus was carrying more than 50 children between 4 and 6 years old when it was hit near al-Mandara village in Manfaloot district in the province of Assiut, a security official said, adding that it appears that the railroad crossing was not closed as the train sped toward it.
